Babycare: Back to Basics leaflet

Baby Care Leaflet

The following information is included in the leaflet:

Introduction:

Recent research suggests that it is safer to bath your baby in plain water for at least the first month of life.

At birth, the top layer of your baby’s skin is very thin and absorbent. This means it is more sensitive to damage from germs, chemicals and water loss. Over the first month (longer in premature infants) your baby’s skin matures and develops its own natural protective barrier. The maintenance of this barrier is vital and damage can lead to the development of skin conditions.

It is important to remember that anything placed on, in or around your baby has the potential to harm.

With this in mind, the following guidelines will help to give your baby the best possible start in life.

We have 4 competitions this month worth about £674, including Finley the Fire Engine DVD. Why not try your luck?

Does anyone have SPD?
Hi

I've been diagnosed with SPD (Symphysis Pubis Disorder) and have had it since 12 wks, I am now 20wks. Apparently its come on early as I also had it when I was pregnant with my son but it didn't start until 35wks then.

I've seen a physio, consultant, reflexologist and am considering trying Bowen treatment. I've also got a support belt but this doesn't help at all, in fact its so uncomfortable!

I know there isn't much I can do, I'm doing the pelvic floor exercises and try not to open legs much eg taking steps one at a time, knees together getting in and out of car etc. We even bought a new mattress!!

Is anyone else suffering from this and have any experiences to share?

Am bit worried as its steadily getting worse and don't want to end up on crutches, but on the other hand I am sooooo bored with resting and not doing anything!!
